Emily's Rain

In the shadows that she paints 
 Lie the stories she can't tell 
 But the trees she lights on fire 
 And the colors cast a spell 

 All the waiting it's been hard 
 She picks at the food on her plate 
 There's so much that he could give 
 There's so much that he could take 

 All her life she's looked up to the clouds 
 For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground 

 One day soon she will be loved 
 It's written deep within her fate 
 And every generation gone 
 Will gather round to celebrate 
  

 From mouth to mouth will come the words 
 Year to year and face to face 
 From the hands down in the hurt 
 And in her intensive grace 

 She will raise the windows high 
 Let the light come streaming in 
 And though the wind will burn her eyes 
 She will learn to breathe again 

 All her life she's looked up to the clouds 
 For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground 
 For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
